Hands up if you’re a creature of habit! I know I am, and so is my beloved dog. To celebrate the comfort of routine, this month’s poem is all about my dog’s favorite snack of the day . . . her bedtime snack!
Bedtime Snack
By Katie Gilstrap
With pillow fluffed
and blanket fetched,
she lies in wait
with neck outstretched.
Her eyes are wide,
her jaw is set.
Her ears are cocked,
her lips are wet.
And even though
she’s snug in bed,
this hound has yet
to rest her head
for when it’s time
to hit the sack,
she knows she’ll get
a bedtime snack!
